PHP-client Install PHP-client

#Get started

The project package contains the PHP client and the server.

If you run an application, CMS, Blog, … and if it is using PHP then you need the client part only.

#Install with a script

There is a script in public_html/client/git_update_appmonitor.sh that automates the manual steps above. It acts linke an installer and updater.

This is the fastest way to install and keep files up to date.

Requirements for the installer:

• Bash
• rsync
• git

#Get the installer

1. Below the document root of a website create a new directory, i.e. [webroot]/appmonitor/

2. Copy git_update_appmonitor.sh there or fetch it as raw file

   wget -O git_update_appmonitor.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iml-it/appmonitor/master/public_html/client/git_update_appmonitor.sh
   

   OR

   curl -o git_update_appmonitor.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iml-it/appmonitor/master/public_html/client/git_update_appmonitor.sh`
   

3. Set execute permissions chmod 755 git_update_apmonitor.sh

The Video shows the installation “somewhere”:

./git_update_appmonitor.sh -h shows a help.

    This is a helper script to get the files of the IML Appmonitor
    client part only.

    This script clones and updates the repository in the /tmp 
    directory and syncs the client files of it to a given directory.

    In the first run it works like an installer.
    On additional runs it updates the files.

    USAGE:

    ./git_update_appmonitor.sh [target path]

        default target is [.] (current directory)

    ./git_update_appmonitor.sh -h|--help

        Show this help.
